Junior Meredith Brown made her first career start in goal for the Crimson Feb. 18, making seven saves in a win at UNH. The seven stops marked a career-best for the Annapolis, Maryland native, who previously had 16 career saves in eight prior appearances.

Climbing the Record Books
Senior Marisa Romeo continued her ascension up the Harvard record books with her five-point performance versus UNH. Her four goals increased her career total to 118, moving her into a tie for eighth all-time with Jess Halpern '12. With four more, she would tie Kate Felson '88 for seventh.

Scouting the Crimson Harvard's 18 goals in its win at UNH was its highest output in a season-opener since it downed Holy Cross, 19-2, to begin the 2008 campaign. Harvard spread the scoring out among 10 student-athletes. Marisa Romeo and Keeley MacAfee led the way with four apiece, while Nicole Baiocco and Maeve McMahon each had two.

Not only was the offense clicking against the Wildcats, but the Crimson excelled in all areas last Saturday. Harvard scooped up 23 ground balls, 18 draw controls and 43 total shots. Megan Hennessey led the way with six ground balls, five draw controls and four caused turnovers. The six ground balls and four caused turnovers were both career-bests.

Scouting Boston College

Sophomore Sam Apuzzo paces the Eagles with 33 points and 14 assists. Her 19 goals trails Kate Weeks' 21 for the team lead. Zoe Ochoa has started all six games in goal, but has split minutes played this season almost evenly with Lauren Daly. Each has a 12.6 goals against average.
